This has to be changed via a broad shift in public opinion and via agitation by groups that manages to shift even more public opinion.<br /><br />I'm not a leader. I'm not much of a joiner. This is what I do. I never claimed I was going to lead the revolution because that's not what I'm any good at.Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11963290427258439242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-38652995109944008612013-06-09T09:27:45.358-04:002013-06-09T09:27:45.358-04:00Who is that "we" in your last sentence? ...Who is that "we" in your last sentence?

I wondered were all the naughty thought came from. ;-)<br /><br />The truth is the democrats are trying to fix a manipulated instinct driven emotional response with reason!

They...Of course this is what they're doing. They're taking the Greenwald et al gripes about civil liberties and executive power and treating them as of a piece with the IRS thing and Benghazi: thus, a grand unified theory -- "Obama is so corrupt he's watching YOU, not The Terrorists." The way to handle it is going to have to be to push Obama to make changes, or to push Congress to push Obama to make changes, and make it clear that the changes are consistent with Obama's own recently stated views about the end of the war on terror and the return to normality for executive power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-27123248905421390582013-06-08T14:09:01.873-04:002013-06-08T14:09:01.873-04:00I'm already seeing the Obama-targeting at vari...I'm already seeing the Obama-targeting at various liberal/left blogs; people trying to take a wider, more dispassionate look at the issue (hi, Chris!) appear to be in the minority, dismissed as O-bots, or just plain ignored.<br /><br />If the GOP plays this right, they can have their much-longed-for impeachment and an unfettered security apparatus for their president to take over in January 2017.Never Ben Betterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814767173601107270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-69008570719282792602013-06-08T12:14:54.408-04:002013-06-08T12:14:54.408-04:00Yes, they'll attack Obama, and frame the Democ...Yes, they'll attack Obama, and frame the Democrats, because that's what they're good at (maybe the only thing they're good at) - and the Democrats are good at letting the Republicans frame them.<br /><br />This is all about the next two elections. <br />And they'll still try to keep that old Benghazi tire pumped-up, in case Hillary does decide to run.

And I suspect that some progressives will be willing pawns in the coming farce as they have so many times in the past.<br /><br />I used to be of that sort, always ready to jump at the latest news of an outrage from leaders who were supposed to be on my side. That is, until I realized one day that I was being conned. Since then I've always been more willing to wait and see how a story develops before jumping on the outrage band-wagon, *especially* when it comes to someone I support.Chris Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139817527808942227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-77609320981855713162013-06-08T11:14:32.861-04:002013-06-08T11:14:32.861-04:00The Republicans are quite capable of tarring Obama...The Republicans are quite capable of tarring Obama for something they are deeply complicit in. They do it all the time. Politics of chutzpah (defined as murdering your parents then pleading for mercy because you're an orphan). It's an art they've been refining for years.
